SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - Students at Windsor Forest Elementary kicked off their Pennies for Patients campaign Monday afternoon.
They gathered in the school gym to hear how just a few pennies from them may help save a life one day.
Each classroom will collect pennies as well as other donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The class with the largest donation will win a pizza party. The fundraiser runs through the end of February.
"It's a great program for kids to get involved in and help their peers," said campaign manager Jean Doliber. "The number one cause for childhood death is Leukemia, so it's a great way for them to help their peers and help those kids who may be sitting right next to them in their classroom."
The class with the largest donation will win a pizza party.
